KF Tenure and future

[dagdaj]

I sincerely hope he and Beth are sitting down once a week and having a cup of coffee. Maybe even a slice of pie. And not talking about football. Just two professionals in the same industry. One on the backend of his career and one who is on the beginning stretch of the road to her apex.

Just chatting. Building a rapport apart from all other decisions they might tussle over. So that there are no surprises from either side on the ultimate decision. That when a decision is made on either side, they have agreed to appear to make it together. And that they work together on what comes after.

I would not be surprised if something akin to your description takes place.

In August, who would have guessed that Kirk outlasts James Franklin?

Does that sound like something KF would do?
He and Barta? Maybe.
But with a new A.D. who personally fired his son?? Uhh.....no.

I'd like to hear you tell me, how much longer will KF be HC. And when he retires will he simply step down in title and remain involved? Will Beth go outside like MBB or will she opt for continuitiy as in WBB.

I've already hear people say who they don't want, no need to share.

I think KF is pooped and there does not seem to be lot of energy about elevating the program to the next level.

I have no idea how much longer KF will be HC....and neither does anyone else. My guess is that not even KF knows -- he seems like the type of guy who will step down "when it feels right".

I DO know this: beating rival Wisconsin four years in a row, with the last two being absolute POUNDINGS, relieves a lot of pressure and buys a lot of goodwill from the Iowa fan base!

ISU
Wisconsin
Minnesota
Nebraska

The last ten years Kirk is 31-11 against those schools. That buys a lot of goodwill.
